Chasing The Hypotenuse

It’s a funny word, hypotenuse. It made Nichole laugh when she batted it around with a couple of fellow writers (including Joel) over brunch in November 2010. After a lot of wordplay, “chasing the hypoteneuse” evolved as their favourite title – but for what?

The phrase haunted Nichole and she began to try it out on people. She talked about it with her masseuse, who suggested a musical! She talked about it with Emma on a writing weekend, who liked it so much that she started writing a story (not the one on here!) before they even left the pub.

They all agreed there was something to this thing – whatever it was.
